When it comes to artistry, Rory McEwen was a master of many trades. A much-loved folk musician and TV presenter, as well as a celebrated painter and sculptor, he produced a plethora of work in various art forms. The Scot, born in Berwickshire in 1932, is revered by many as an artistic genius and has inspired artists such as Van Morrison, The Animals’ Eric Burdon, and Billy Connolly. And now it is hoped that he will continue to inspire a new tranche of talent as his former cottage studio is being transformed into an artists’ residency. Family and friends of the painter gathered at Fogo Cottage, near Marchmont House, at Greenlaw in the Scottish Borders at the weekend for the unveiling of a plaque in his honour.
